Interesting article about theoretical physics. Basically, two physicists theorise that any machine made to discover the Higgs Boson is doomed to failure because the particle itself is so abhorrent to nature that ripples through time prevent it's existence.
also: there are some friggin awesome comments about this:

This is basically just quantum immortality on a global scale... we can never survive a reality where the LHC works, so we will always live in a universe where it breaks.
Then you can make it really scary by saying this machine could destroy the world, while ignoring that the theory really means this machine could never destroy the world.

The only way for it to function tomorrow is if we destroy it today and then use it yesterday! That third part sounds the hardest but thankfully it's already been done.
